Even after the cable is hooked up and the units are talking, the two units may "swap" ends under program control. This facility targets units such as PDAs where the USB link might connect to a PC's host port as a device in one instance, yet connect as a host itself to a keyboard and mouse device in another instance. USB On-The-Go has therefore defined two small form factor connectors, the Mini-A and Mini-B, and a universal socket (Mini-AB)" so it is possible in the usb standard - but is there a dvd/hd recorder that has such capability and can talk direct to my PC (running gentoo of course, to keep this discussion on-topic to the mailing list ;) -- Iain Buchanan Good-bye.
